Italy's government on Tuesday was set to approve a bill banning the use of laboratory-produced meat in food and animal feed as it aims to safeguard the country's 'agri-food heritage', a draft seen by Reuters said.

The draft law bill, still subject to approval at a cabinet meeting scheduled for 5 p.m. , forbids Italian industry from producing food or feed "from cell cultures or tissues derived from vertebrate animals". The nationalist administration of Giorgia Meloni has pledged to shield Italy's food from technological innovations seen as harmful, and renamed the agriculture ministry the "ministry for agriculture and food sovereignty".

Violations can result in fines of up to 60,000 euros and the shutdown of factories, the draft says, and producers may lose their right to obtain public funding for up to three years.

Do not interfere in the internal affairs of Azerbaijan. It is not a good thing to be a dog of the Armenian lobby. The Armenian terrorists you defend are laying mines on the territory of Azerbaijan. MinColonna
